Book Our Facility

We love supporting and partnering with the community around us. As part of those efforts, we make our facilities available to people, organizations, and film productions that need space for activities consistent with the church’s values, mission, and ministry. 

  • Local organizations, film crews, and individuals have used the facilities for one-time or short-term usage.

    Availability for ongoing usage is limited but will be considered. We prioritize non-profit organizations that are supported by the church, but also work with other nonprofit and  for-profit organizations.

    Generally, the Sanctuary, buildings and grounds are not available for use by outside groups on Sundays. No activities or advocacy may take place within the buildings or on the grounds that conflicts with the policies and the practices of FUMC and The United Methodist Church. We do not allow smoking or alcohol on the premises.

    • Sanctuary (1400 people max)

    • Great Hall (200 people max)

    • Chapel (180 people max)

    • Classroom/Meeting Room (30 people max)

    • Church Lounge (with kitchenette – 50 people max) 

    • Courtyard (75 people max)

    • Fellowship Hall (175/300 people max)

Filming
